Chocolate Chip Blondies | The Barefoot Contessa Project

You all know that Mike loves Chocolate Chip Cookies. He always insists "don't fix what's not broken." An for him, it doesn't get better than a good chocolate chip cookie.

I knew he'd be excited about these Chocolate Chip Blondes (officially Chocolate "Chunk" but I used chips because that's what I had) because they are basically Chocolate Chip Cookies in bar form. Not basically, that's exactly what they are. In fact, I think it is The Barefoot Contessa's exact Chocolate Chunk Cookie recipe, just baked in a baking dish vs. scooped into cookies.

True to form, these cookies I mean blondies are delish. My only note is that I only baked them for 22 minutes of the recommended 30 and they do not seem as goey or moist as pictured in Foolproof. I wonder if it is because I used a metal sheet pan vs. a glass baking dish? Anyone else run into this problem?

Don't worry though, we are still gobbling them up at record speed. I took these photos yesterday and am looking at the last one right now!

I used glass dish & mine were on the edge of burnt & not even cooked all the way through. not sure WHAT I did wrong, but they were anything BUT foolproof! was so bummed - they smelled so good. yours look amazing!
